Overview

Isis Interstellar's upgrade of the old and maligned ship. Aimed at small-time and new traders, the ship has improved speed and cargo capacity. An ideal 'stepping stone' ship for those aspiring towards a big trader like a Cobra Mark III.

History

While neither most of the different variants of the Adder nor the Adder Mark II ever had a proper license Isis Interstellar's Adder Mark III had all the necessary steps taken to register the ship design in the companies name.

To attract more clients soon the enhanced Adder Mark III-E was introduced to the market. This version offers better maneuverability and 1 additional pylon and mount in exchange for only 2 t of cargo space.

Remarks

Inspired by cbr's imagery on the board (http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=285753#p285753) Killer Wolf created the Adder Mark III based on the model of the Kings Cobra Mark II escape capsule rather than the one of the original Adder. However, like all of his designs, the result is certainly an esteemed addition to Oolite.

This ship fits nicely with the core-ships, no multiple lasers and definitely nothing "ueber".
